"The Bounty" was the first book of poems Walcott published after
winning the 1992 Nobel Prize in Literature. Opening with the title
poem, a memorable elegy to the poet's mother, the book features a
haunting series of poems that evoke Walcott's native ground, the
island of St. Lucia. "For almost forty years his throbbing and
relentless lines kept arriving in the English language like tidal
waves," Walcott's great contemporary Joseph Brodsky once observed.
"He gives us more than himself or 'a world'; he gives us a sense of
infinity embodied in the language."
